AI in Detecting and Mitigating Zero-Day Exploits!
The cybersecurity landscape is continually evolving, with cybercriminals increasingly employing sophisticated techniques to exploit vulnerabilities. Among the most critical threats are zero-day exploits, which take advantage of previously unknown vulnerabilities in software or hardware. Because these vulnerabilities are unknown to the software vendor and lack a patch, they pose significant risks to organizations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against zero-day exploits, enhancing detection and mitigation efforts. Understanding Zero-Day Exploits A zero-day exploit refers to a cyberattack that occurs on the same day a vulnerability is discovered and made public. Because there is typically no available fix at this time, zero-day exploits can have devastating effects, including: Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to sensitive data can lead to significant financial and reputational damage. System Compromise: Attackers c...
